Carmilla
crypt warmth for nights of code
Thirteen colours distilled around a rosé-wine background. Warm accents — carmine, wisteria, absinthe mint, peach velvet, champagne — over a dark boudoir.

The flavors
the same theme in a different light
A flavor swaps the signature accent and re-temperatures the neutral backgrounds; the content colours — Pearl, the syntax hues, the Ash-Mauve comments — stay untouched. Amethyst was born from an orchid inspiration, #7A4186: its hue was kept exact (OKLCH ≈ 320°) and lifted into legibility — ≈ 5.2:1 (AA) on its Boudoir — while the wine backgrounds rotate from 303° to 286° at identical saturation and lightness.
